The Hydra Soldier is a variant of Promethean Soldier featured in the Halo 5: GuardiansWarzone map, Battle of Noctus. The Hydra Soldier is a boss that spawns near the Monument, accompanied by Watchers. This form of Soldier varies from the standard Promethean Soldier in that it wields a Hydra MLRS, which can be acquired by the player once the Boss is defeated. It should be noted, however, that the Hydra Soldier will replace his Hydra with a Z-130 Suppressor if any player gets too close or if the Hydra Soldier takes too much damage, meaning the Boss must be defeated extremely quickly if the Hydra is to be acquired. There are also two Hydra Soldiers Protecting the Soldier Specialist on the map Skirmish at Darkstar. Killing one will award the team 25 VP, and earn the player a Boss Takedown medal.
